  1. Why does S1 E7 of The Twilight Zone have the MOST (unintentionally) hilarious high-drama dialogue ever?

    I'm not mocking the emotional sincerity of the episode - TTZ always HITS - but sometimes the retro-futuristic terminology and PRONUNCIATION just SLAYS me…

    In every single original TTZ episode they pronounce "robot" as "ROWbutt" and these men screaming at each other:
    SHE'S A ROWBUTT!
    SHE'S NOT A ROWBUTT, SHE'S A WOMAN!!!

    Gawd, it really is a genuinely moving scene and episode, but FUCK that is JUST AS FUNNY every time I re-watch it.

    (And this is why if you were using a spy gadget listening device on me, you'd hear me mutter in muted tones of outrage and horror: "SHE'S A ROWBUTT!!!" to myself every now and then apropos of nothing.)
